Time has already flown by and it’s time for Ethan to start getting shots. How can it be? I truly feel like I was just here with Kendall. Ethan was not a fan of the scale. These were the only pictures I could get on the scale. I had to pick my sweet boy up quickly and make him feel better. Dr. Nordby had all good things to say about Ethan. One of the concerns I had was with him grunting, mainly at night. I told her about a few things I had noticed and she asked me if I had noticed a couple things as well. Turns out, he has a mild case of reflux. I would have never expected it. We left the office with a prescription for Zantac to see if it will help. Definitely not the best quality of pictures but I had to get what I could when I wasn’t holding Ethan. He wasn’t the happiest patient at this visit. He’ll get used to it though. He looks happy here but little did he know the shots were coming. There was little to no crying from our big boy and the most of it came when the needle was removed, after the medicine went in his little leg. Height: 23 1/4 inches – 50th percentile

This is the first dress that she has worn and is actually “aware” it’s a dress. She looks so pretty!! I don’t typically put her in a dress to go to day care because I’m too worried she is going to play too rough and get bumps and bruises on her sweet legs and knees. Thankfully she made it all day with clean knees and no scrapes to be had.

Brought so much joy to Kendall’s face. We were reading bedtime stories and I was playing with her hair at the same time. Although she still has such fine baby hair, I was able to get most of it up. She thought this messy-almost all of her hair up pony tail was so cool that she asked to sleep in it. What a cutie!!

We met some friends at a local block party for the third year in a row. It is family friendly and there is always a crowd. Ethan fell asleep on the way and stayed asleep until we got home. Ahh, the life of a baby. Kendall wasn’t too sure about the crowd and wanted to be held quite a bit. We found a place in the shade, since it was 82 degrees, and watched some of the festivities. She warmed up to the crowd the longer we were there although we only stayed an hour. Ryan wasn’t feeling good and Kendall was getting antsy. We did enjoy it for the time we were there. Faces of a two year old who sees her face in the iPhone camera. Love it!It’s funny how in the reverse camera mode on the iPhone, you think you’re getting a good picture until you see the real thing. Oh well, at least we tried. LOL! It was such a beautiful day so I decided to take Kendall and Ethan for some ice cream and to the park while Ryan rested. Kendall has only really had ice cream at birthday parties so I wasn’t too sure how she would do with a scoop of her own. I ordered her some strawberry and I pigged out on mint oreo and chocolate chip cookie dough on a waffle cone (it was delicious)! Kendall did great, didn’t even make a mess, until she wanted mine. There was a few bites left in her cup when she offered me her spoon and said, “here mommy, you have this one” and then reached for my cone and said, “I lick it?” How could I say no, she wanted to share. I didn’t feel so guilty with my order after my 2 year old ate half of it.I helped Kendall with the drips from the cone but otherwise she ate every bit of what you see here. This girl will eat anything sweet. She looks so big eating the cone.When we were done with ice cream, we headed to Middleton Park for more outside fun. We spent most of our time on the swing but did make it down the slide a few times. I love watching Kendall at the park. She definitely has no fear!
